May 31, 1984 was another mile­stone
in Thunderbird history. The
Thunderbird Alumni Association
held its initial formation meeting
on campus. In response to the
Board of Trustees resolution estab­lishing
the association, the thirteen
alumni who attended formed a
steering committee "to formulate a
draft charter or constitution, in­cluding
membership qualifications
and financial policies, and to adopt
and implement same in a timely
manner."
Charles Stockholm '56, member
of the Board of Trustees, chaired
the meeting and was elected chair
of the steering committee. Joseph
Klein' 47, chairman of the Board of
Trustees, and President William
Voris addressed the group stress­ing
the importance and impact the
association will have on the future
development of the school. "The
success of the School depends on
its alumni," Voris said. "The
School is ready for an international
alumni association and we expect
it to be an integral part of the insti­tution.
The administration is 100
percent behind the idea."

alumni and the Alumni Relations

there are now 17,554 alumni, of
which 18 percent (or over 2,500)
reside outside the United States in
106 countries. The Alumni Rela­tions
Office has current addresses
of about 85 percent of alumni and
attempts to locate missing Thun­derbirds
on an ongoing basis. Oth­er
major functions of the office
include quarterly publishing of
Thunderbird Magazine, Homecoming
and reunion activities, publishing
and mailing of chapter newsletters,
and coordination of alumni associ­ation
activities.
Discussion centered around as­sociation
purpose, structure, finan­cial
arrangements, membership,
and rerresentation. Regarding fi­nancia
arrangements such as, as­sociation
and chapter dues, the
consensus of the group was that
no arrangements need to be con­sidered
at this time, but bylaws
might be drafted to allow some
flexibility. Board representation is
also a critical issue to be examined,
and the committee members are
seeking input from alumni in such
areas as regional representation,
chapter representation, and at­large
members.
Another area of discussion in­cluded
the name of the organiza­tion.
The group voted to call it the
Thunderbird Alumni Association /'
in order to stress the alumni rela­tionship
of the group.
The discussion culminated in the
formation of three task forces:
charter and bylaws; executive du­ties
and officers; and purposes and
goals.
Findings and recommendations
will be presented at the next steer­ing
committee meeting scheduled
for September 7, 1984, with final
recommendations given at the Oc­tober
11, 1984 meeting to formalize
the association.

T'birds
. Study
Around
the
World
This year, Thunderbird students
are studying on campuses around
the globe in special programs de­signed
to augment their interna­tional
management curriculum.
The programs, located in Europe,
China and Mexico, involve more
than 90 students.
2
EUROPE
The 1984 European program has
been redesigned into three three­week
segments to cover West Ger­many,
France and Belgium. It of­fers
a mandatory twelve credit
hours: eight in World Business and
four in International Studies.
The first three weeks are being
spent in Oestrich-Winkel, West
Germany, not far from Frankfurt.
Students are studying at the Euro-pean
Business School (EBS) nestled
in its own vineyard located on the
Rhine. The program is being con­ducted
by EBS faculty and super­vised
by Dr. Henry Behrens,
associate professor of world
business.
Not only are students studying
contemporary business issues with
the EBS faculty, they also have op­portunity
for first-hand exposure
to German businesses. Their final
week in Germany is spent in field
trips to businesses in the area
meeting with both American and
German executives, including
many Thunderbird alumni.
In addition to the summer pro­gram
in West Germany, a regular
semester exchange program with
EBS will be inaugurated this fall.
Twenty EBS students will spend
fall semester at Thunderbird and in

the spring will go on to fulfill in­ternships
with American
corporations.
While the German students do
their internships, Tbirds will be
studying at EBS in the spring. Fol­lowing
their semester at EBS,
Tbirds will have the opportunity
to serve internships in West Ger­many
for the summer.
During the second portion of the
program, Dr. Carl Frear, professor
of World Business, will supervise
the students at Ecole Superieure de
Commerce de Lyon (ESC). The
course material for WB-477 Com­parative
Business Practices will be
taught by ESC-Lyon faculty.
The Lyon segment will cover
such areas as comparative account­ing
and finance systems, consumer
behavior in southern France, and
comparative organizational behav­ior.
At the end of the three-week
period, students will be tested and
graded by their French faculty.
The selection of ESC was made
after much deliberation. Thunder­bird
was looking for two important
elements: (1) a school that offered
graduate degree programs---ESC
has both an M.B.A. and a Ph.D.
program-and (2) an institution
with an interest in a student ex­change
beyond the summer pro­gram.
Dr. Frear will be exploring
the possibility of a program similar
to the exchange which will get un­derway
this fall with EBS.
The last leg of the European
journey will be at the American
Management Associations' Man­agement
Centre Europe located in
Brussels, Belgium. It will be super­vised
by Dr. Beverly Springer, pro­fessor
of International Studies.
This is the third consecutive year
that Tbirds have studied at the
AMA Centre in Brussels.
The focus in Belgium is IS-448E,
European Business Environment.
Issues such as East-West economic
relations, labor relations in Europe,
and the role of business in interna­tional
decision making are ad­dressed.
In addition, governmental
agencies like the EEC and NATO
are also examined. The material is
meant to give students an opportu­nity
to integrate political and social
issues with current business trends
in Europe.

CHINA
Unlike the European program
curriculum, the other two summer
programs require and stress seri­ous
language study as a meaning­ful
component of the overseas
experience. This year, the China
program at the Beijing Institute of
Foreign Trade (BIFT) has been ex­panded
to eight weeks for the first
time. Dr. John Frankenstein, assis­tant
professor of international
studies, is supervising five T'Birds
and teaching a seminar course on
American business in China.
The primary goal of the program
is "on ground exposure to the
Chinese culture," said Franken­stein,
with language training as an­other
significant element. In
addition, students are given special
lectures by the BIFT
faculty as well as an
opportunity to meet
with American business
executives in China.
Life for T'birds at BIFT
is highly structured.
Students are given
"foreign expert status"
and housed at the nearby
Friendship Hotel. The
status of "foreign expert" is
conferred on all guests of the
Chinese government and all those
affiliated with official Chinese
agencies.
In spite of the regimen at BIFT,
students have an opportunity to
travel on their own at the end of
the program. At present, there are
29 Chinese cities open to foreign
travelers.
"You can't get a sense of what
China is truly like until you've
been there. It just works different­ly,"
said Frankenstein. According
to him, Tbirds for the most part
do well on the program. China is
not an easy place to live, but with
their firm background in the lan­guage,
Tbirds are able to settle in
well.
That's why completion of the
400-1evel Chinese classes and a
minimum of one international
studies class on Asia is required.
"We are trying to build an Asian
program that is significant," said
Frankenstein, "and the growth has
been steady over the years."

Classroom building at Guadalajara
In the past, T'birds have stayed
at BIFf for only 4 to 5-week pe­riods
in the summer and again
during Winterim. The move to an
8-week summer program is a posi­tive
one, according to Franken­stein.
In addition, the growth and
development of foreign business
investment in China makes the
program and Frankenstein's semi­nar
all the more significant.
Beyond the formal arrange­ments,
the China program also of­fers
an excellent opportunity for
informal exchange of ideas and
views. "Without a doubt there is
meaningful interaction," said Fran­kenstein,
''because T'birds are
viewed as a safe window to the
outside."
THUNDERBIRD MAGAZINE SUMMER 1984
MEXICO
On the other side of the world,
the Thunderbird program at the
Autonomous University of Guada­lajara
in Mexico is now in its thir­teenth
year and going strong.
More than forty students are there
this summer participating in a pro­gram
designed exclUSively for
T'birds.
The Autonomous University is
not in session during the summer,
therefore Thunderbird sends three
professors, one from each depart­ment,
to offer classes that students
would normally take at Thunder­bird.
This year John Conklin, asso­ciate
professor of international
studies; Jeanie Hoshor, assistant
professor of world business; and
Clifford Call, associate professor of
Spanish, are each teaching two
courses at Guadalajara. Faculty
from the Autonomous University
also give additional language
instruction.
The goal of the Guadalajara
summer session, according to Call,
the director for this year's pro­gram,
is really threefold: (1) a
chance to live in and understand
another culture and in that sense
broaden the Thunderbird experi­ence,
(2) to sharpen language skills
by truly living the language, and
(3) to give students a chance to
cope with a foreign c\llture-adapt
to the climate, the people, the food
and confront the symptoms of cul­ture
shock.
For students interested in inter­national
management, the last rea­son
perhaps has the greatest long­term
significance. Therefore, stu­dents
going on the program are
given as much free~om and re­sponsibility
as pOSSIble. They not
only make their own travel plans,
but they also make their own liv­ing
arrangements .. Students ar~ ~n­couraged
to live WIt~ local f.amilies
to intensify cultural ImmerSlOn.
The program is designed for
four-day work weeks and three­day
weekends to encourage inde­pendent
travel. In addition, special
lectures by American business ex­ecutives
in the Guadalajara area
are being organized to give st:u­dents
a first-hand look at busmess
in Mexico. The program is topped
off with a mini-graduation and cel­ebration
for graduating students
and alumni.
With Thunderbird's continued
commitment to produci~g trained
internationalists, and WIth more
than 17,000 graduates placed vir­tually
in every corner of the world,
it is logical that Thunderbird's
classrooms should span the globe.
The developing plans for expanded
regular semester ~xc~an~e pro­grams
with such mstitutlons as the
European Business Sc~ool a~d the
internships abroad whIch will re­sult,
further enhance Thunder­bird's
unique program and
certainly broaden the reach of the
Thunderbird network. T'birds
around the globe-learning and
working-that's an important part
of the Thunderbird Mystique.

Thunderbird's exchange rrogram
with the Beijing Institute 0 For­eign
Trade (BIFT) is more than just
an exchange of students, and Pro­fessor
Yao Nien-Ching, visiting
professor for Spring and Summer
semesters, is living proof of that.
He is Thunderbird's second and
most eminent guest lecturer from
Beijing.
Here to teach International StUd­ies
SOl-Advanced Topics in Mod­ern
China-Yao is an economist
who has also spent a number of
years teaching English at BIFT. The
son of a Rear Admiral, Yao grew
up in what westerners might de­scribe
as an upper-middle class en­vironment.
He attended Ching
Hua and Yenching universities in
Peking and received his master's
degree from Nankai Institute of
Economic Research in Chungking.
In 1948, Yao went to England as
a recipient of a British Council
scholarship for graduate study in
Economic theory. Yao recalls that
two years later, the "new China
was established" and he and his
colleagues were called home to as­sist
in the "reconstruction pro­gram."
Yao explained simply: "We
gave up our degrees, stopped writ­ing
our dissertations and
returned."
Upon returning to China, he
joined the Research Institute of
Foreign Trade. Not surprisingly,
Professor Y ao
Talks About The
New
China
his focus of research was Britain
and Europe as well as international
finance. In 1960, he joined BIFT
and is now both a Professor of
English as a Foreign Language and
a Professor of Economics.
Yao is optimistic about the de­velopments
taking place in China
today and the outlook for the fu­ture.
China, after 30 years of revo­lution,
is "facing up to the
difficulties" of poverty. According
to Yao, between 1978 and 1982, the
per capita income of the average
peasant doubled.
There are signs, too, that Chi­na's
door is truly opening to for­eign
investors. Yao points to
China's decision last September to
further relax the regulations on
joint ventures and allow foreign in­vestments
to be 100 percent for­eign
owned. In addition, joint
ventures are no longer forced to
sell their products outside of China
in order to meet China's continu­ing
need for foreign exchange.
Trading between the U.S. and
China is especially strong in agri­cultural
products. China imports
between 14 and 16 million tons of
agricultural goods annually from
all over the world and the U.S.
supplies 60 percent of the grains.
But China is concerned about limit­ing
its dependence on agricultural
imports and according to Yao, "as
time goes on, the increase of U.S.
exports to China will depend more
on technological products." He
termed the U.S. decision to relax
restrictions on the export of high
technology to China a "good
sign." As for the Taiwan issue,
Yao said only that it "will come up
now and again as a stumbling
block."
Yao's initial visit to Thunderbird
was in 1980 when the official ex­change
arrangements were final­ized.
During that visit, he spent a
little over a month on campus and
gave a series of public lectures on
China. Following his visit, his
daughter came to Thunderbird for
the English as a Second Language
program and then went on to
study at Arizona State University.
Yao is pleased with what he has
found at Thunderbird. "It's a tight
THUNDERBIRD MAGAZINE SUMMER 1984
program. In general, our students
work harder here than students
elsewhere in the U.S." He is also
pleased that the students in his
seminar have a strong background
in Asian studies. Many speak
Chinese and have traveled exten­sively
in Asia. One student in par­ticular
has traveled several times to
China as a tour guide and has seen
more of China than Yao himself.
"He's been to Tibet six times," Yao
said shaking his head with
amazement.
Of course, there are differences in
teaching here. "Americans like to
put forth their opinions," Yao said
with a grin. The Chinese on the
other hand are reluctant to make
mistakes, hence reluctant to speak
up. His lectures are on
the general economic
framework of China,
although the questions
that follow tend to be
much more practical.
Yao considers the
combination of the
theoretical and
practical to be a
support the new government.
Nevertheless, during the 1960s
the Red Guards raided his horne,
confiscated his books, and eventu­ally
sent him to the countryside to
do manual labor for three years.
Yao and his wife were in separate
platoons during that period and
saw each other only once a week.
Before his assignment to manual
labor, Yao was able to place his
daughter with a revolutionary fam­ily
he knew would be able to offer
her protection.
"In spite of the agony of the in­justice,"
there isn't a hint of bitter­ness
in his voice. Rather, his warm
and ebullient demeanor indicates
that the battles he has faced
unique and effective
element in the
education here at
Thunderbird. In
addition to teaching
this summer, Yao is
polishing and editing
his lectures on Modern
China for future
publication.
Yao meets informally with students from his seminar.
As optimistic and open as Yao
appears, it's hard to imagine a
time when he and his fellow intel­lectuals
in China suffered persecu­tion
during the Cultural
Revolution. For a period of approx­imately
ten years, all educational
institutions stopped functioning
beyond the primary school level.
Because of Yao's academic back­ground
and his work abroad, he
was considered the "number one
academic authority" at BIFT pro­moting
capitalist restoration in Chi­na.
He terms the charge "absurd,"
pointing to the fact that he willing­ly
returned to China in 1950 to
THUNDERBIRD MAGAZINE SUMMER 1984
haven't left debilitating scars. Yao
believes "the true Chinese never
liked the Cultural Revolution,"
and, he says, perhaps that ac­counts
for the kindness he met
with among the peasants in the
field. Perhaps too, that accounts
for the optimism Yao confidently
expresses for the future of China's
growth. Today, according to Yao,
the focus in China is on the ''bet­terment
of the livelihood of the
Chinese people, instead of shadow
boxing with imaginary enemies."
Nancy Smith Nebeker
Doing Business
with the Chinese
The following excerpts are taken from a
book review, written by Professor John
Frankenstein, Assistant Professor of
International Studies at Thunderbird,
thafappeared in arecent issue of Tech­nology
Review.
Written under the auspices of
the Rand Corp., Lucian Pye's
Chinese Commercial Negotiating Style
joins a small but growing number
of studies of the complex U.S.-Chi­na
business relationship. As the
best guide to the Chinese commer­ciallabyrinth,
the book will be­come
an essential part of any
China trader's kit, whether one is
interested in supplying China's
high-technology needs or import­ing
Chinese goods.
Difficulties arise, Pye suggests,
because u.s. and Chinese negotia­tors
have two different operational
codes. Americans, he points out,
approach negotiations in a deliber­ate,
legalistic way. Objectives are
set, fallback positions are under­stood,
authority in the negotiating
team is clear-cut, and the focus is
on getting a detailed contract
signed as quickly as possible. But
Americans also want to under­stand
the problems of the other
party. Thus, compromise is accept­able-
indeed, for most U.s. busi­ness
people, it is the essence of
negotiations.
This style collides head-on with
the very different practices of the
Chinese. They believe that negotia­tions
can best be accomplished
through agreement on general
principles, Pye suggests-the de­meaning
details can be handled
later. Such an agreement provides
Chinese negotiators with an impor­tant
tool for extracting concessions.
When the going gets rough, Pye
says, the Chinese can use the gen­eral
agreement "to attack the other
party for bad faith."
Indeed, the bureaucratic setting
colors all negotiations with the

AIG Chief Executive
Speaks on
Latin America
At May graduation ceremonies,
343 students representing 37 for­eign
countries were awarded the
Master of International Manage­ment
degree. With a backdrop of
60 foreign flags, President William
Voris conferred the degrees and
Maurice R. Greenberg, president
and CEO of American Internation­al
Group, Inc. (AIG) gave the com­mencement
speech.
Greenberg gave a major policy
address on the crisis in Latin
America and made specific propos­als
for dealing with the Latin
American debt. "The current crisis
gives the U.S. a major opportunity
to expand our influence through­out
Latin America by strengthen­ing
our long-term relationships
with the leading countries of the
hemisphere," said Greenberg.
According to Greenberg a work­able
trade program must give high
U.S. import quota priority to Latin
American products; improve Latin
8
America's ability to import U.S.
goods by facilitating credit; and
launch promptly a new round of
multilateral trade talks aimed at
helping Latin American countries
gain greater access to industrial­ized
nation markets.
AIG is the pre-eminent u.s.
based worldwide insurance organi­zation
with 238 companies repre­sented
in 138 countries and
territories. Although Thunderbird
has a long and close relationship
with AIG, it was the first time
Greenberg had ever visited
campus.
John A. Florida '62, chairman
and CEO of Walter Thompson de
Mexico, S.A. also particpated in
the ceremonies. Florida came to
present the Barton Kyle Yount
award to the outstanding member
of the graduating class. The award,
conferred for excellence in scholar­ship,
character and accomplish­ment,
on nomination and election
by the faculty, was presented to
Florida in 1962. This Spring's win­ner
was Linda Joy Magoon.
Thunderbird
Inaugurates
Insurance Chair
Thunderbird's first endowed
chair, the C.V. Starr Chair of Inter­national
Insurance, was inaugurat­ed
during commencement
ceremonies on May 18. It was
made possible by the Starr Fo~n­dation,
through several grants pro­viding
the current endowment of
$400,000.
At graduation, a classic oak chair
designated with a gold-plated
plaque was unveiled to symbolize
the new position. Present for the
unveiling ceremonies were Maurice
Greenberg, president and chief ex­ecutive
officer of AIG, and Dr. Wil­liam
Voris, president of the School.
Dr. Voris commented on the re­lationship
between Thunderbird
and AIG, which dates back to
1967. It has' included numerous
speakers on campus who have giv­en
the students the benefit of their
experience in international insur­ance.
It has also included represen­tation
on the School's World
Winners of the Outstanding Professor
Award. (L to R) Jeanie Hoshor, assistant

by C.V. Starr, the founder of AIG.
Starting in 1970,the foundation
supported a professorship in fi­nance
and insurance with annual
grants of $15,000. Their goal was
to develop Thunderbird as an im-portant
source of insurance talent.
In 1980, the foundation estab­lished
an initial endowment of
more than $184,000 to support an
endowed chair of international in­surance.
That endowment was en­hanced
by a recent pledge of
$225,000 bringing the total amount
donated by the Foundation to
more than $600,000 over the years.

I Bizarre
Bazaar
"Well L.G., you're back in the
rummage sale business." Accord­ing
to Louise Gifford (L.G.), Finan­cial
Aids Officer, that was the
unceremonious beginning of what
has since become a colorful Thun­derbird
tradition-The Bizarre
Bazaar.
It was Steve Beaver, Dean of
Students, who broke the news to
Gifford in 1979, following an ad­ministrative
rollcy meeting on how
to dispose 0 unclaimed items from
the lost and found. Since then, the
bazaar has been held every fall and
spring semesters to benefit the
Emergency Loan Fund (ELF), a
fund which dispenses small short­term
emergency loans.

winning raffle ticket with Berger Erickson,
executive vice president.

In 1982, the Bazaar's fund rais­ing
effort was given a shot in the
arm with a generous donation to
its raffle. Alumnus Jim Reinnoldt
'81, the North American Adminis­tration
Manager for Singapore Air­lines,
arranged the donation of two
round-trip tickets from San Fran­cisco
to Hong Kong on Singapore
Airlines. The revenue from that
raffle alone was more than double
the earnings of any previous
Bazaar.
This spring, Singapore Airlines
agreed to make a second dona­tion-
two round-trip tickets from
Los Angeles to Tokyo-and third
semester student, Marla B. Erkins
was the lucky winner. To date, the
Bazaars have raised more than
$15,000.
In essence, according to Gifford,
the Bazaar and the ELF corne
down to students helping other
students. Now with the addition of
the Singapore Airlines donation, it
also means alumni are helping. For
Gifford, that's the most satisfying
part of it all.
I U.S. Steel Awards
Program
Thunderbird has been selected
as a finalist in the Improvement
Category in the 1984 U.s. Steel Al­umni
Giving Incentive Awards
Program. This program, now in its
25th year, recognizes those institu­tions
and their alumni which have
made a significant and successful

Kelly O'Dea came back to judge INTERAD­a
competition he competed in as a student.
I interad Competition
The spring 1984 INTERAD com­petition
was one of the best ever,
according to Kelly O'Dea '72, and
O'Dea should know. He has
served as an INTERAD judge for
several years and competed in IN­TERAD
as a student.
While the prize fell to the team
assigned to marketing Campbell's
soup in the United Kingdom,
judges conceded that their deliber-ations
were long and heated .
"Every one of the participants
should feel very proud of their
achievements. It was very difficult
to choose," said Brian Morris, vice
president and account supervisor
for Dailey Associates in Los
Angeles.
The panel of five judges includ­ed
two alumni who had been IN­TERAD
participants in the past. In
addition to O'Dea, Martin Susz
'79, vice president and account su­pervisor
of J. Walter Thompson al­so
participated. Along with Brian
Morris, Hector Orci, vice president
and general manager of La Agen­cia
de McCann-Erickson in Los An­geles
and Donna Golkin, group
product manager of International
Playtex in Stamford, Connecticut
rounded out the panel.
Golkin, a first time INTERAD
judge, was persuaded to participate
by a colleague at Playtex. She was
pressed for time and had to take
the red eye back to New York for a
major presentation the next day.
At the close of the day, however,
Golkin termed the competition
"just terrific" and added that "in
spite of the time pressures, I can
honestly say I am glad I came."
INTERAD judges at work. L. to R.: Brian Morris, vice president and account supervisor,

foreign-trade organizatiqn rather
than the potential users of a tech­nology.
Thus, they may not have
the authority to make on-the-spot
decisions. They must refer any dif­ficulties
to higher authorities, often
across bureaucratic lines, so com­munications
are not only complex,
but also slow. Sometimes the
Chinese appear to be negotiating
with two groups-foreign business
people and members of the
Chinese bureaucracy. One Ameri­can
summed it up for Pye: "You
have no idea what power to make
decisions the people you are nego­tiating
with have; but even worse,
they don't either."
Pye attributes a good part of this
confusion to the reluctance of
members of the Chinese bureau­cracy
to accept responsibility. The
political culture makes a point of
separating authority and responsi­bility,
with the second pushed
down the ladder as far as it can
go.
The upshot is that negotiations
take time, which for Americans
may mean money. But this is not
to say that the Chinese take a care­less
attitude toward time.
They are in the enviable position

of controlling the agenda: when
you will visit the Great Wall, when
you will have your banquet, and
when you will see the negotiators
(who, incidentally, do not work
overtime). As Charles Freeman, an
American diplomat, pointedly put
it, the Chinese are "masters of the
creative use of fatigue."
Pye suggests in good Confucian
style a number of useful negotiat­ing
principles: Be Patient: Remem­ber
that in China timeliness may
not be next to godliness. Be Stead­fast
and Restrained: Constancy,
dignity, and sincerity are more im­portant
than effusiveness. Avoid the
Trap of Indebtedness: Remember that
the Chinese relationships include a

Dr. John J. O'Connell, a recog­nized
authority on risk manage­ment,
was named to the newly
created professorship. He has been
on the faculty of Arizona State
University since 1975, and is the
author of more that thirty papers
and publications on the topic. He
is also the author of a textbook,
Principles of Insurance. Dr. O'Con­nell
is the former editor of The
Journal of Insurance Issues and
Practices, and serves as a reviewer
for several academic journals.
tion. Prevent Exaggerated Expecta­tions:
Don't oversell, for in
disappointment the Chinese will
revert to moralizing. Take General
Principles Seriously: Don't agree to
something you will want to change
later. To the Chinese, foreigners
are unpredictable, and unpredicta­bility
is often difficult to separate
from insincerity. Master the Record:
The negotiators and the bureaucra­cy
will be well prepared. A culture
with a written history that goes
back 5,000 years knows how to
keep files. Prepare Damage-Limita­tions
Measures and Resist Efforts to
Shaming: Anticipate misunder­standings
but do not prepare an
aggressive defense-this will only
reinforce Chinese feelings of for­eign
insincerity. And Perhaps most
important: Know Chinese Cultural
Differences but Be Yourself: No one
can out-Chinese the Chinese.
However, if one is aware of the in­tercultural
dynamics of negotia­tions,
then when difficulties arise
they can at least be understood.
Pye has not only written a book
of great interest to anyone con­cerned
with China; he has also set
a standard for writing about inter­national
business practices. Too
much business commentary, and
indeed social science in general, is
wrapped up in the methodology of
mail surveys and rigid rules of be­havior.
Pye never lets us forget
that the key variables are people,
policies, and cultures.

Associa tion
Organizes
May 31, 1984 was another mile­stone
in Thunderbird history. The
Thunderbird Alumni Association
held its initial formation meeting
on campus. In response to the
Board of Trustees resolution estab­lishing
the association, the thirteen
alumni who attended formed a
steering committee "to formulate a
draft charter or constitution, in­cluding
membership qualifications
and financial policies, and to adopt
and implement same in a timely
manner."
Charles Stockholm '56, member
of the Board of Trustees, chaired
the meeting and was elected chair
of the steering committee. Joseph
Klein' 47, chairman of the Board of
Trustees, and President William
Voris addressed the group stress­ing
the importance and impact the
association will have on the future
development of the school. "The
success of the School depends on
its alumni," Voris said. "The
School is ready for an international
alumni association and we expect
it to be an integral part of the insti­tution.
The administration is 100
percent behind the idea."
In an overview of the status of
alumni and the Alumni Relations

there are now 17,554 alumni, of
which 18 percent (or over 2,500)
reside outside the United States in
106 countries. The Alumni Rela­tions
Office has current addresses
of about 85 percent of alumni and
attempts to locate missing Thun­derbirds
on an ongoing basis. Oth­er
major functions of the office
include quarterly publishing of
Thunderbird Magazine, Homecoming
and reunion activities, publishing
and mailing of chapter newsletters,
and coordination of alumni associ­ation
activities.
Discussion centered around as­sociation
purpose, structure, finan­cial
arrangements, membership,
and rerresentation. Regarding fi­nancia
arrangements such as, as­sociation
and chapter dues, the
consensus of the group was that
no arrangements need to be con­sidered
at this time, but bylaws
might be drafted to allow some
flexibility. Board representation is
also a critical issue to be examined,
and the committee members are
seeking input from alumni in such
areas as regional representation,
chapter representation, and at­large
members.
Another area of discussion in­cluded
the name of the organiza­tion.
The group voted to call it the
Thunderbird Alumni Association /'
in order to stress the alumni rela­tionship
of the group.
The discussion culminated in the
formation of three task forces:
charter and bylaws; executive du­ties
and officers; and purposes and
goals.
Findings and recommendations
will be presented at the next steer­ing
committee meeting scheduled
for September 7, 1984, with final
recommendations given at the Oc­tober
11, 1984 meeting to formalize
the association.

T'birds
. Study
Around
the
World
This year, Thunderbird students
are studying on campuses around
the globe in special programs de­signed
to augment their interna­tional
management curriculum.
The programs, located in Europe,
China and Mexico, involve more
than 90 students.
2
EUROPE
The 1984 European program has
been redesigned into three three­week
segments to cover West Ger­many,
France and Belgium. It of­fers
a mandatory twelve credit
hours: eight in World Business and
four in International Studies.
The first three weeks are being
spent in Oestrich-Winkel, West
Germany, not far from Frankfurt.
Students are studying at the Euro-pean
Business School (EBS) nestled
in its own vineyard located on the
Rhine. The program is being con­ducted
by EBS faculty and super­vised
by Dr. Henry Behrens,
associate professor of world
business.
Not only are students studying
contemporary business issues with
the EBS faculty, they also have op­portunity
for first-hand exposure
to German businesses. Their final
week in Germany is spent in field
trips to businesses in the area
meeting with both American and
German executives, including
many Thunderbird alumni.
In addition to the summer pro­gram
in West Germany, a regular
semester exchange program with
EBS will be inaugurated this fall.
Twenty EBS students will spend
fall semester at Thunderbird and in

the spring will go on to fulfill in­ternships
with American
corporations.
While the German students do
their internships, Tbirds will be
studying at EBS in the spring. Fol­lowing
their semester at EBS,
Tbirds will have the opportunity
to serve internships in West Ger­many
for the summer.
During the second portion of the
program, Dr. Carl Frear, professor
of World Business, will supervise
the students at Ecole Superieure de
Commerce de Lyon (ESC). The
course material for WB-477 Com­parative
Business Practices will be
taught by ESC-Lyon faculty.
The Lyon segment will cover
such areas as comparative account­ing
and finance systems, consumer
behavior in southern France, and
comparative organizational behav­ior.
At the end of the three-week
period, students will be tested and
graded by their French faculty.
The selection of ESC was made
after much deliberation. Thunder­bird
was looking for two important
elements: (1) a school that offered
graduate degree programs---ESC
has both an M.B.A. and a Ph.D.
program-and (2) an institution
with an interest in a student ex­change
beyond the summer pro­gram.
Dr. Frear will be exploring
the possibility of a program similar
to the exchange which will get un­derway
this fall with EBS.
The last leg of the European
journey will be at the American
Management Associations' Man­agement
Centre Europe located in
Brussels, Belgium. It will be super­vised
by Dr. Beverly Springer, pro­fessor
of International Studies.
This is the third consecutive year
that Tbirds have studied at the
AMA Centre in Brussels.
The focus in Belgium is IS-448E,
European Business Environment.
Issues such as East-West economic
relations, labor relations in Europe,
and the role of business in interna­tional
decision making are ad­dressed.
In addition, governmental
agencies like the EEC and NATO
are also examined. The material is
meant to give students an opportu­nity
to integrate political and social
issues with current business trends
in Europe.
3
CHINA
Unlike the European program
curriculum, the other two summer
programs require and stress seri­ous
language study as a meaning­ful
component of the overseas
experience. This year, the China
program at the Beijing Institute of
Foreign Trade (BIFT) has been ex­panded
to eight weeks for the first
time. Dr. John Frankenstein, assis­tant
professor of international
studies, is supervising five T'Birds
and teaching a seminar course on
American business in China.
The primary goal of the program
is "on ground exposure to the
Chinese culture," said Franken­stein,
with language training as an­other
significant element. In
addition, students are given special
lectures by the BIFT
faculty as well as an
opportunity to meet
with American business
executives in China.
Life for T'birds at BIFT
is highly structured.
Students are given
"foreign expert status"
and housed at the nearby
Friendship Hotel. The
status of "foreign expert" is
conferred on all guests of the
Chinese government and all those
affiliated with official Chinese
agencies.
In spite of the regimen at BIFT,
students have an opportunity to
travel on their own at the end of
the program. At present, there are
29 Chinese cities open to foreign
travelers.
"You can't get a sense of what
China is truly like until you've
been there. It just works different­ly,"
said Frankenstein. According
to him, Tbirds for the most part
do well on the program. China is
not an easy place to live, but with
their firm background in the lan­guage,
Tbirds are able to settle in
well.
That's why completion of the
400-1evel Chinese classes and a
minimum of one international
studies class on Asia is required.
"We are trying to build an Asian
program that is significant," said
Frankenstein, "and the growth has
been steady over the years."

Classroom building at Guadalajara
In the past, T'birds have stayed
at BIFf for only 4 to 5-week pe­riods
in the summer and again
during Winterim. The move to an
8-week summer program is a posi­tive
one, according to Franken­stein.
In addition, the growth and
development of foreign business
investment in China makes the
program and Frankenstein's semi­nar
all the more significant.
Beyond the formal arrange­ments,
the China program also of­fers
an excellent opportunity for
informal exchange of ideas and
views. "Without a doubt there is
meaningful interaction," said Fran­kenstein,
''because T'birds are
viewed as a safe window to the
outside."
THUNDERBIRD MAGAZINE SUMMER 1984
MEXICO
On the other side of the world,
the Thunderbird program at the
Autonomous University of Guada­lajara
in Mexico is now in its thir­teenth
year and going strong.
More than forty students are there
this summer participating in a pro­gram
designed exclUSively for
T'birds.
The Autonomous University is
not in session during the summer,
therefore Thunderbird sends three
professors, one from each depart­ment,
to offer classes that students
would normally take at Thunder­bird.
This year John Conklin, asso­ciate
professor of international
studies; Jeanie Hoshor, assistant
professor of world business; and
Clifford Call, associate professor of
Spanish, are each teaching two
courses at Guadalajara. Faculty
from the Autonomous University
also give additional language
instruction.
The goal of the Guadalajara
summer session, according to Call,
the director for this year's pro­gram,
is really threefold: (1) a
chance to live in and understand
another culture and in that sense
broaden the Thunderbird experi­ence,
(2) to sharpen language skills
by truly living the language, and
(3) to give students a chance to
cope with a foreign c\llture-adapt
to the climate, the people, the food
and confront the symptoms of cul­ture
shock.
For students interested in inter­national
management, the last rea­son
perhaps has the greatest long­term
significance. Therefore, stu­dents
going on the program are
given as much free~om and re­sponsibility
as pOSSIble. They not
only make their own travel plans,
but they also make their own liv­ing
arrangements .. Students ar~ ~n­couraged
to live WIt~ local f.amilies
to intensify cultural ImmerSlOn.
The program is designed for
four-day work weeks and three­day
weekends to encourage inde­pendent
travel. In addition, special
lectures by American business ex­ecutives
in the Guadalajara area
are being organized to give st:u­dents
a first-hand look at busmess
in Mexico. The program is topped
off with a mini-graduation and cel­ebration
for graduating students
and alumni.
With Thunderbird's continued
commitment to produci~g trained
internationalists, and WIth more
than 17,000 graduates placed vir­tually
in every corner of the world,
it is logical that Thunderbird's
classrooms should span the globe.
The developing plans for expanded
regular semester ~xc~an~e pro­grams
with such mstitutlons as the
European Business Sc~ool a~d the
internships abroad whIch will re­sult,
further enhance Thunder­bird's
unique program and
certainly broaden the reach of the
Thunderbird network. T'birds
around the globe-learning and
working-that's an important part
of the Thunderbird Mystique.

Thunderbird's exchange rrogram
with the Beijing Institute 0 For­eign
Trade (BIFT) is more than just
an exchange of students, and Pro­fessor
Yao Nien-Ching, visiting
professor for Spring and Summer
semesters, is living proof of that.
He is Thunderbird's second and
most eminent guest lecturer from
Beijing.
Here to teach International StUd­ies
SOl-Advanced Topics in Mod­ern
China-Yao is an economist
who has also spent a number of
years teaching English at BIFT. The
son of a Rear Admiral, Yao grew
up in what westerners might de­scribe
as an upper-middle class en­vironment.
He attended Ching
Hua and Yenching universities in
Peking and received his master's
degree from Nankai Institute of
Economic Research in Chungking.
In 1948, Yao went to England as
a recipient of a British Council
scholarship for graduate study in
Economic theory. Yao recalls that
two years later, the "new China
was established" and he and his
colleagues were called home to as­sist
in the "reconstruction pro­gram."
Yao explained simply: "We
gave up our degrees, stopped writ­ing
our dissertations and
returned."
Upon returning to China, he
joined the Research Institute of
Foreign Trade. Not surprisingly,
Professor Y ao
Talks About The
New
China
his focus of research was Britain
and Europe as well as international
finance. In 1960, he joined BIFT
and is now both a Professor of
English as a Foreign Language and
a Professor of Economics.
Yao is optimistic about the de­velopments
taking place in China
today and the outlook for the fu­ture.
China, after 30 years of revo­lution,
is "facing up to the
difficulties" of poverty. According
to Yao, between 1978 and 1982, the
per capita income of the average
peasant doubled.
There are signs, too, that Chi­na's
door is truly opening to for­eign
investors. Yao points to
China's decision last September to
further relax the regulations on
joint ventures and allow foreign in­vestments
to be 100 percent for­eign
owned. In addition, joint
ventures are no longer forced to
sell their products outside of China
in order to meet China's continu­ing
need for foreign exchange.
Trading between the U.S. and
China is especially strong in agri­cultural
products. China imports
between 14 and 16 million tons of
agricultural goods annually from
all over the world and the U.S.
supplies 60 percent of the grains.
But China is concerned about limit­ing
its dependence on agricultural
imports and according to Yao, "as
time goes on, the increase of U.S.
exports to China will depend more
on technological products." He
termed the U.S. decision to relax
restrictions on the export of high
technology to China a "good
sign." As for the Taiwan issue,
Yao said only that it "will come up
now and again as a stumbling
block."
Yao's initial visit to Thunderbird
was in 1980 when the official ex­change
arrangements were final­ized.
During that visit, he spent a
little over a month on campus and
gave a series of public lectures on
China. Following his visit, his
daughter came to Thunderbird for
the English as a Second Language
program and then went on to
study at Arizona State University.
Yao is pleased with what he has
found at Thunderbird. "It's a tight
THUNDERBIRD MAGAZINE SUMMER 1984
program. In general, our students
work harder here than students
elsewhere in the U.S." He is also
pleased that the students in his
seminar have a strong background
in Asian studies. Many speak
Chinese and have traveled exten­sively
in Asia. One student in par­ticular
has traveled several times to
China as a tour guide and has seen
more of China than Yao himself.
"He's been to Tibet six times," Yao
said shaking his head with
amazement.
Of course, there are differences in
teaching here. "Americans like to
put forth their opinions," Yao said
with a grin. The Chinese on the
other hand are reluctant to make
mistakes, hence reluctant to speak
up. His lectures are on
the general economic
framework of China,
although the questions
that follow tend to be
much more practical.
Yao considers the
combination of the
theoretical and
practical to be a
support the new government.
Nevertheless, during the 1960s
the Red Guards raided his horne,
confiscated his books, and eventu­ally
sent him to the countryside to
do manual labor for three years.
Yao and his wife were in separate
platoons during that period and
saw each other only once a week.
Before his assignment to manual
labor, Yao was able to place his
daughter with a revolutionary fam­ily
he knew would be able to offer
her protection.
"In spite of the agony of the in­justice,"
there isn't a hint of bitter­ness
in his voice. Rather, his warm
and ebullient demeanor indicates
that the battles he has faced
unique and effective
element in the
education here at
Thunderbird. In
addition to teaching
this summer, Yao is
polishing and editing
his lectures on Modern
China for future
publication.
Yao meets informally with students from his seminar.
As optimistic and open as Yao
appears, it's hard to imagine a
time when he and his fellow intel­lectuals
in China suffered persecu­tion
during the Cultural
Revolution. For a period of approx­imately
ten years, all educational
institutions stopped functioning
beyond the primary school level.
Because of Yao's academic back­ground
and his work abroad, he
was considered the "number one
academic authority" at BIFT pro­moting
capitalist restoration in Chi­na.
He terms the charge "absurd,"
pointing to the fact that he willing­ly
returned to China in 1950 to
THUNDERBIRD MAGAZINE SUMMER 1984
haven't left debilitating scars. Yao
believes "the true Chinese never
liked the Cultural Revolution,"
and, he says, perhaps that ac­counts
for the kindness he met
with among the peasants in the
field. Perhaps too, that accounts
for the optimism Yao confidently
expresses for the future of China's
growth. Today, according to Yao,
the focus in China is on the ''bet­terment
of the livelihood of the
Chinese people, instead of shadow
boxing with imaginary enemies."
Nancy Smith Nebeker
Doing Business
with the Chinese
The following excerpts are taken from a
book review, written by Professor John
Frankenstein, Assistant Professor of
International Studies at Thunderbird,
thafappeared in arecent issue of Tech­nology
Review.
Written under the auspices of
the Rand Corp., Lucian Pye's
Chinese Commercial Negotiating Style
joins a small but growing number
of studies of the complex U.S.-Chi­na
business relationship. As the
best guide to the Chinese commer­ciallabyrinth,
the book will be­come
an essential part of any
China trader's kit, whether one is
interested in supplying China's
high-technology needs or import­ing
Chinese goods.
Difficulties arise, Pye suggests,
because u.s. and Chinese negotia­tors
have two different operational
codes. Americans, he points out,
approach negotiations in a deliber­ate,
legalistic way. Objectives are
set, fallback positions are under­stood,
authority in the negotiating
team is clear-cut, and the focus is
on getting a detailed contract
signed as quickly as possible. But
Americans also want to under­stand
the problems of the other
party. Thus, compromise is accept­able-
indeed, for most U.s. busi­ness
people, it is the essence of
negotiations.
This style collides head-on with
the very different practices of the
Chinese. They believe that negotia­tions
can best be accomplished
through agreement on general
principles, Pye suggests-the de­meaning
details can be handled
later. Such an agreement provides
Chinese negotiators with an impor­tant
tool for extracting concessions.
When the going gets rough, Pye
says, the Chinese can use the gen­eral
agreement "to attack the other
party for bad faith."
Indeed, the bureaucratic setting
colors all negotiations with the

AIG Chief Executive
Speaks on
Latin America
At May graduation ceremonies,
343 students representing 37 for­eign
countries were awarded the
Master of International Manage­ment
degree. With a backdrop of
60 foreign flags, President William
Voris conferred the degrees and
Maurice R. Greenberg, president
and CEO of American Internation­al
Group, Inc. (AIG) gave the com­mencement
speech.
Greenberg gave a major policy
address on the crisis in Latin
America and made specific propos­als
for dealing with the Latin
American debt. "The current crisis
gives the U.S. a major opportunity
to expand our influence through­out
Latin America by strengthen­ing
our long-term relationships
with the leading countries of the
hemisphere," said Greenberg.
According to Greenberg a work­able
trade program must give high
U.S. import quota priority to Latin
American products; improve Latin
8
America's ability to import U.S.
goods by facilitating credit; and
launch promptly a new round of
multilateral trade talks aimed at
helping Latin American countries
gain greater access to industrial­ized
nation markets.
AIG is the pre-eminent u.s.
based worldwide insurance organi­zation
with 238 companies repre­sented
in 138 countries and
territories. Although Thunderbird
has a long and close relationship
with AIG, it was the first time
Greenberg had ever visited
campus.
John A. Florida '62, chairman
and CEO of Walter Thompson de
Mexico, S.A. also particpated in
the ceremonies. Florida came to
present the Barton Kyle Yount
award to the outstanding member
of the graduating class. The award,
conferred for excellence in scholar­ship,
character and accomplish­ment,
on nomination and election
by the faculty, was presented to
Florida in 1962. This Spring's win­ner
was Linda Joy Magoon.
Thunderbird
Inaugurates
Insurance Chair
Thunderbird's first endowed
chair, the C.V. Starr Chair of Inter­national
Insurance, was inaugurat­ed
during commencement
ceremonies on May 18. It was
made possible by the Starr Fo~n­dation,
through several grants pro­viding
the current endowment of
$400,000.
At graduation, a classic oak chair
designated with a gold-plated
plaque was unveiled to symbolize
the new position. Present for the
unveiling ceremonies were Maurice
Greenberg, president and chief ex­ecutive
officer of AIG, and Dr. Wil­liam
Voris, president of the School.
Dr. Voris commented on the re­lationship
between Thunderbird
and AIG, which dates back to
1967. It has' included numerous
speakers on campus who have giv­en
the students the benefit of their
experience in international insur­ance.
It has also included represen­tation
on the School's World
Winners of the Outstanding Professor
Award. (L to R) Jeanie Hoshor, assistant

AlG's financial support for the
School has been handled through
the Starr Foundation, which was
incorporated with funds donated
by C.V. Starr, the founder of AIG.
Starting in 1970,the foundation
supported a professorship in fi­nance
and insurance with annual
grants of $15,000. Their goal was
to develop Thunderbird as an im-portant
source of insurance talent.
In 1980, the foundation estab­lished
an initial endowment of
more than $184,000 to support an
endowed chair of international in­surance.
That endowment was en­hanced

I Bizarre
Bazaar
"Well L.G., you're back in the
rummage sale business." Accord­ing
to Louise Gifford (L.G.), Finan­cial
Aids Officer, that was the
unceremonious beginning of what
has since become a colorful Thun­derbird
tradition-The Bizarre
Bazaar.
It was Steve Beaver, Dean of
Students, who broke the news to
Gifford in 1979, following an ad­ministrative
rollcy meeting on how
to dispose 0 unclaimed items from
the lost and found. Since then, the
bazaar has been held every fall and
spring semesters to benefit the
Emergency Loan Fund (ELF), a
fund which dispenses small short­term
emergency loans.
Marla Erkins, a May '84 graduate holds the
winning raffle ticket with Berger Erickson,
executive vice president.
The first Bizarre Bazaar's Singapore Airlines raffle. L. to R. John Hustler '81, Jim Reinnoldt
'81, Steve Beaver,. Dean of Students. Background: Peter Lehman, student raffle chairman.

In 1982, the Bazaar's fund rais­ing
effort was given a shot in the
arm with a generous donation to
its raffle. Alumnus Jim Reinnoldt
'81, the North American Adminis­tration
Manager for Singapore Air­lines,
arranged the donation of two
round-trip tickets from San Fran­cisco
to Hong Kong on Singapore
Airlines. The revenue from that
raffle alone was more than double
the earnings of any previous
Bazaar.
This spring, Singapore Airlines
agreed to make a second dona­tion-
two round-trip tickets from
Los Angeles to Tokyo-and third
semester student, Marla B. Erkins
was the lucky winner. To date, the
Bazaars have raised more than
$15,000.
In essence, according to Gifford,
the Bazaar and the ELF corne
down to students helping other
students. Now with the addition of
the Singapore Airlines donation, it
also means alumni are helping. For
Gifford, that's the most satisfying
part of it all.
I U.S. Steel Awards
Program
Thunderbird has been selected
as a finalist in the Improvement
Category in the 1984 U.s. Steel Al­umni

last year. Finalists in the
Improvement Category must have
shown at least a 10 percent in­crease

THUNDERBIRD t.MGAZINE SUMMER 1984
Kelly O'Dea came back to judge INTERAD­a
competition he competed in as a student.
I interad Competition
The spring 1984 INTERAD com­petition
was one of the best ever,
according to Kelly O'Dea '72, and
O'Dea should know. He has
served as an INTERAD judge for
several years and competed in IN­TERAD
as a student.
While the prize fell to the team
assigned to marketing Campbell's
soup in the United Kingdom,
judges conceded that their deliber-ations
were long and heated .
"Every one of the participants
should feel very proud of their
achievements. It was very difficult
to choose," said Brian Morris, vice
president and account supervisor
for Dailey Associates in Los
Angeles.
The panel of five judges includ­ed
two alumni who had been IN­TERAD
participants in the past. In
addition to O'Dea, Martin Susz
'79, vice president and account su­pervisor
of J. Walter Thompson al­so
participated. Along with Brian
Morris, Hector Orci, vice president
and general manager of La Agen­cia
de McCann-Erickson in Los An­geles
and Donna Golkin, group
product manager of International
Playtex in Stamford, Connecticut
rounded out the panel.
Golkin, a first time INTERAD
judge, was persuaded to participate
by a colleague at Playtex. She was
pressed for time and had to take
the red eye back to New York for a
major presentation the next day.
At the close of the day, however,
Golkin termed the competition
"just terrific" and added that "in
spite of the time pressures, I can
honestly say I am glad I came."

faculty," said Dr. Voris. "Through
the e.V. Starr chair, Thunderbird
will be able to recognize an out­standing
authority in the field and
support his activities in a way that
will ultimately benefit the entire
industry."
Several key people in AIG and
the Starr Foundation have been
credited with important roles in
the relationship. Hugh Blake was
an important AIG recruiter at
Thunderbird; Houghton Freeman,

Doing Business with the Chinese
continued from page 7
Chinese. To begin with, the nego­tiators
are probably officials from a
foreign-trade organizatiqn rather
than the potential users of a tech­nology.
Thus, they may not have
the authority to make on-the-spot
decisions. They must refer any dif­ficulties
to higher authorities, often
across bureaucratic lines, so com­munications
are not only complex,
but also slow. Sometimes the
Chinese appear to be negotiating
with two groups-foreign business
people and members of the
Chinese bureaucracy. One Ameri­can
summed it up for Pye: "You
have no idea what power to make
decisions the people you are nego­tiating
with have; but even worse,
they don't either."
Pye attributes a good part of this
confusion to the reluctance of
members of the Chinese bureau­cracy
to accept responsibility. The
political culture makes a point of
separating authority and responsi­bility,
with the second pushed
down the ladder as far as it can
go.
The upshot is that negotiations
take time, which for Americans
may mean money. But this is not
to say that the Chinese take a care­less
attitude toward time.
They are in the enviable position

of controlling the agenda: when
you will visit the Great Wall, when
you will have your banquet, and
when you will see the negotiators
(who, incidentally, do not work
overtime). As Charles Freeman, an
American diplomat, pointedly put
it, the Chinese are "masters of the
creative use of fatigue."
Pye suggests in good Confucian
style a number of useful negotiat­ing
principles: Be Patient: Remem­ber
that in China timeliness may
not be next to godliness. Be Stead­fast
and Restrained: Constancy,
dignity, and sincerity are more im­portant
than effusiveness. Avoid the
Trap of Indebtedness: Remember that
the Chinese relationships include a
large measure of mutual obliga-tor

and Maurice Greenberg, AIG's
president and CEO, presented the
commencement address to the
Masters degree candidates.
Dr. John J. O'Connell, a recog­nized
authority on risk manage­ment,
was named to the newly
created professorship. He has been
on the faculty of Arizona State
University since 1975, and is the
author of more that thirty papers
and publications on the topic. He
is also the author of a textbook,
Principles of Insurance. Dr. O'Con­nell
is the former editor of The
Journal of Insurance Issues and
Practices, and serves as a reviewer
for several academic journals.
tion. Prevent Exaggerated Expecta­tions:
Don't oversell, for in
disappointment the Chinese will
revert to moralizing. Take General
Principles Seriously: Don't agree to
something you will want to change
later. To the Chinese, foreigners
are unpredictable, and unpredicta­bility
is often difficult to separate
from insincerity. Master the Record:
The negotiators and the bureaucra­cy
will be well prepared. A culture
with a written history that goes
back 5,000 years knows how to
keep files. Prepare Damage-Limita­tions
Measures and Resist Efforts to
Shaming: Anticipate misunder­standings
but do not prepare an
aggressive defense-this will only
reinforce Chinese feelings of for­eign
insincerity. And Perhaps most
important: Know Chinese Cultural
Differences but Be Yourself: No one
can out-Chinese the Chinese.
However, if one is aware of the in­tercultural
dynamics of negotia­tions,
then when difficulties arise
they can at least be understood.
Pye has not only written a book
of great interest to anyone con­cerned
with China; he has also set
a standard for writing about inter­national
business practices. Too
much business commentary, and
indeed social science in general, is
wrapped up in the methodology of
mail surveys and rigid rules of be­havior.
Pye never lets us forget
that the key variables are people,
policies, and cultures.
